Oh, what a great example of spontaneous excellence! Or did you really plan this out? Which ever the case, I love the idea! #919851

Hi Crystal,
This was made for a framing class I used to teach here at BetterPhoto. So it was planned. One light, a Calumet 750 Travelite with a 60 inch umbrella. Of course I used the self-timer. Dodie will work for treats. I gave this to her groomer as an example of a matted dog. I wish we had had more demand for the framing class.
Thanks, John Siskin

LOL Great sense of humor AND very informative. I'm just looking into studio lighting so seeing the results from the Calumet 750 Travelite is very helpful. So many options and so much to learn :)

Framing is an art all in itself! An excellent photograph always deserves an excellent presentation. Perhaps the interest in such a course will increase as the betterphoto "professional" community grows. It doesn't seem like many beautiful photographs make it beyond websites these days. Best of wishes and again ... thank you so very much for all of the wonderfully helpful information :) #5914318

Thanks Crystal! You should check out the Calumet Travelites, I like mine a lot. Of course you might want to check out my lighting class. John Siskin #5914333

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
